studded tires
Metal-dotted snow wheels
Studded tires are winter tires embedded with small metal pins that protrude from the tread to grip icy roads.
The studs bite into packed snow and ice, providing traction where regular tires would slip.
Many jurisdictions restrict their use to winter months or ban them entirely because they damage dry pavement.
We swap to studded tires every November before the first freeze.
